Tracing is a systematic tracking of the history of firearms and in certain cases also their parts and ammunition; checking the background of the weapon and its users in order to identify the moment of shifting the weapon from legal into illegal market and detect the perpetrators operating in this shady business. Its main purpose is to assist the law enforcement bodies in detecting, investigating and analysing illicit manufacturing and illicit trafficking of weapons and ammunition. The article describes the content and structure of the tracing regulations, recalling the EU and UN legal framework that served as the basis for new primary and secondary legislation in Kosovo. Moreover, the article takes note of the technical, organizational and forensic solutions applied by Kosovo’s authorities (with the help of international community) with the aim to strengthen the impact of the new legal framework in practice and make combating arms related crime more effective.
